Comment 9 for bug 591865

Hi Arnd,

Sure - I will give that a try.

But how will that be any different to the section in /etc/init.d/proftpd
that checks for the existence of /var/run/proftpd and creates it if it
is not present?

It looks like this:

# /var/run could be on a tmpfs
[ ! -d /var/run/proftpd ] && mkdir /var/run/proftpd

And if I stop the proftpd service, manually delete /var/run/proftpd then
start the proftpd service again the /var/run/proftpd directory is
correctly created and the service starts.

I am just asking out of curiosity as I have no idea what
/etc/init/mounted-varrun is used for!

I will add that line in now and let you know how it goes.

Many thanks
Graham
